    Core i7 940 and 1333MHz RAM - is it possible?

    Cont.... Also, what about the life expectancy of the 920 when it is overclocked to 940 speeds? Does that decrease significantly?

    Cheers. So are there any problems with functional correctness that would occur when overclocking the 920 to 940 speeds that would be avoided by simply buying a 940? Thanks.

    Core i7 940 and 1333MHz RAM - is it possible?

    Hmm after reading that article, it seems that they got it to run at 3.8 GHz but at the cost of a temp of 85 degrees C. Has anyone overclocked a 920 to about 3.0 - 3.2 GHz? If so, what were the temperatures?

    Thanks guys! So what would you adjust in the BIOS to achieve 940 performance with the 920? Cheers. :)

    Core i7 940 and 1333MHz RAM - is it possible?

    So what exactly is this "locked/unlocked" stuff I've been hearing about? Doesn't the overspeed limit cause problems on the 940 and 920 for high speed RAM? Thanks.

    Core i7 940 and 1333MHz RAM - is it possible?

    Hi, I am going to be buying: * Core i7 940 CPU * ASUS P6T Deluxe motherboard and was wondering if 1333 Mhz DDR3 RAM will work with this processor, and will acutally run at 1333MHz. Do you have to overclock the CPU in order to use 1333 MHz DDR3 RAM? If so, how is this done? I've heard there...
